The baby sleeps while the children play
And Mama don't know what Daddy don't say
Yeah it's a cold world baby
So keep your coat on
And remember the thngs that we used to have
When the world was much simpler than a dime in a bag
Yeah it's a cheap trick baby
So keep your guard up
Now darling I know that life doesn't seem fair
There's sadness and hunger that we all must bear
Some worse than others and some better yet
But you can't just look around
with resentment and regret
You can search every water every land known to man
In compassion we falter
but we're only human
That's just a cruel lie baby
But the true will find you
From one spark one light oneignition we came
From one piont and to one point we go again
Ashes to ashes as dust turns to dust
And we all go falling down
And we all go falling down
And we all go falling down
Only to rise once again
Now over and over we fold and unfold
And time must seem linear so that we may grow
From death there comes life but from life there comes death
And we all go falling down
And we all go falling down
And we all go falling down
Only to rise once again
And we all go falling down
Yes we all go falling down
And we all go falling down
Only to rise once again
